War Ships MAY be Needed.

BosToN, Aug 27.-Rev. DR.. Judson
Smith, of this city, the foreign secretary of
the American Board, has received news of
the release of Pew. Edward T. Doane the
missionary of the American Board at
Ponape, in the Caroline islands, who was ar
rested some three or four weeks ago and
imprisoned by the Spanish authorities, on
the pretext that he melted the
natives to disloyalty to their gov
erner 1t is thought now that, notwith-
standing Mr.. Doane's acquittal of the
charges against him, Spain will hereafter
ignore the missionaries right, will take
away their lands, send away the scholars,
and, in fact, break up the missions. DR..
Smith says that the American government
may find it necessary to send one of our war
ships to the Caroline islands to protect the
interests of our citizens.

HANLAN'S FUTURE.

Ian left Toronto for California, from whence

formed james keenan,, of this city, that he
would make the one great effort of his life
in his next race. 1t was his intention, he
said to put himself in the best of condition
to meet Beach, and if he succeeded in
beating the champion, he would at
once give up racing and follow out his in
tention expressed two years ago, of Offering
a magnificent prize to be competed for by
scullers from all parts of the world. If he
lost he hardly knew what he would do: still,
he realized that he had become better
sculler than he ever was, and he felt con-
fident of beating Beach. If Hanlans ex-
pectations should he realized there is little
doubt that he will arrange grand regatta
which will be in the nature of a testimonial
to himself on his retirement from racing,
and that the title which he will voluntarily
lay down will offer chance to the great
scullers to compete in One of the best il not
the grandest races ever held in any country.
